Two Winters In Norway: Being An Account Of Two Holidays Spent On Snowshoes, And In Sleigh Driving, And Including An Expedition To The Lapps (1902)

By Arthur Edmund Spender

""Two Winters in Norway"" is a travelogue written by Arthur Edmund Spender, chronicling his experiences during two winter holidays spent in Norway. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part describing Spender's snowshoeing and sleigh driving adventures in various parts of Norway, including the Telemark region, the Gudbrandsdal valley, and the Rondane Mountains. The second part of the book details Spender's expedition to the Lapps, an indigenous people living in the northernmost parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. Throughout the book, Spender provides vivid descriptions of the Norwegian landscape, including its snow-covered mountains, frozen lakes, and sprawling forests. He also offers insights into the customs and traditions of the Norwegian people, as well as the Lapps, whom he describes as a fascinating and unique culture. ""Two Winters in Norway"" is a fascinating account of a bygone era, when travel was much more difficult and adventurous than it is today. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of travel and exploration, as well as those who have an interest in Norway and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
